"Lord, lord." Before Tian Feng could say anything, Yuan Xiang's shouting voice came from outside.

Yuan Xi frowned and looked, only to see Qu Zhiyun hurrying over with Yuan Xiang.

"What's going on?" Yuan Xi felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Lord," Yuan Xiang clenched his fists and said quickly, "The eldest prince is here." ”

"What, big brother is here?" Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while, what does Yuan Tan mean by coming to Youzhou at this time?

"My lord, let's go and see." Tian Feng reminded in the back.

Yuan Xi reacted and walked outside quickly.

Qu Zhiyun hesitated, bit her lower lip, and didn't follow, her face flushed.

Tian Feng sat on one side and drank tea slowly, although it was very strange why the concubine of Yuan Xi in front of him was blushing, but he didn't ask anything. It wasn't something he could ask.

Yuan Xi hurriedly arrived outside the courtyard and saw the dusty eldest brother Yuan Tan at a glance.

"Second brother," Yuan Tan suddenly pounced on Yuan Xi as soon as he saw his own grandfather, and then hugged Yuan Xi and cried.

"Big brother, don't cry," Yuan Xi pulled him out of his arms and shouted, "What the hell happened?" ”

"Father is gone, Yuan Shang inherited his father's position." Yuan Tan began to cry again.

Yuan Xi's head exploded with a bang, his body was unstable, he was also angry and hated Yuan Shao, and even all preparations were for Yuan Shao's death, but when all this really came without warning, he found that his heart was still uncomfortable.

The blood love between relatives awakened instantly, and the man's tears couldn't help but flow down.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan hugged their heads and cried for a while, before they hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Why did my father go? ”

Yuan Tan hurriedly said: "I don't know, I have always remembered your words, Hou Hou in front of the bed anytime and anywhere, I and the third brother for one night, that night, it was the third brother vigil, who knew that early the next morning, my father went, and then I didn't react, they just, they set up the third brother as a ......"

Yuan Xi rubbed his head, "Big brother, do you mean that the third brother killed his father?" ”

Yuan Tan stopped howling for an instant, and said in a low voice: "I didn't say that, I just doubt that there is no time to pinch so accurately, and the third brother doesn't look so uncomfortable." ”

Yuan Xi stared into his eyes and said, "Why don't you go back to Qingzhou?" ”

Yuan Tan lowered his head, "Qingzhou now has 30,000 defenders, and Cao Cao's million-strong army is sinking outside, what difference does it make if you don't defend it?" ”

Yuan Xi let go of him and said angrily: "Yes, what makes the difference between keeping it and not keeping it." You say that you and the third brother are competing for the position of father, what's the use? Our Yuan family couldn't beat Cao Cao in its heyday, do you think you can beat Cao Cao in the future? ”

"Well, that's different."

"How is it different?" Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly widened, full of anger: "Even if I give you a million troops, you are Cao Cao's opponent?" ”

Yuan Tan shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.

"!"

Yuan Xi scolded and turned around and said, "Yuan Xiang, go and inform Xu Chu, let's go to Yecheng now." ”

Yuan Xiang hurriedly took the order and left.

"You wait outside the southern city, I'll go and say goodbye to my wife, and I'll be there in a while."

Yuan Tan's mouth opened, nodded, and turned around.

Yuan Xi returned to the courtyard and quickly told Tian Feng about the matter and his own methods.

After Tian Feng heard that Yuan Shao had gone, he was stunned for a long time before he lamented: "Go, Xianyi, go and see off your father for the last ride." After saying no more, Tian Feng turned his head and secretly wiped away his tears.

Yuan Xi blackened his face and returned to the mansion. Cai Yan and the others were not at home, Yuan Xi found Zou Jia directly, and then told her what happened, asked her to inform Cai Yan, turned around and left.

For the first time in these years, Zou Jia saw Yuan Xi's cold look, and he was a little flustered for a while, chased two steps, and stammered: "Husband, husband, Sister Wen Ji, are you going too?" ”

"No, I'll be back at a later date and let her not worry."

Zou Jia stopped, looked at Yuan Xi's back in a daze, Yuan Shao left? Is the Yuan family finished?

She cleaned up her mood, hurriedly went to ask someone to prepare the horse, and then went to find Cai Yan.

Yuan Xi took Dian Wei, Yuan Xiang, three hundred guards, five thousand Xuanjia heavy soldiers, and the personal soldiers of his eldest brother Yuan Tan to Yecheng overnight.

Traveling day and night all the way, Yuan Xi and others rushed to Yecheng in the shortest possible time.

Yuan Tan was tired of his mouth, and looked at the second brother as if he was stunned, and he didn't know what to say, the second brother's face was cold along the way, and he didn't say a word to him, he felt that the second brother seemed to have changed. But I didn't dare to ask anything.

Who is the most powerful in Hebei now? That's Yuan Xi!

If he can get the support of his second brother Yuan Xi, even if Yuan Shang inherits his father's position, what does he compare with himself?

"My lord, the gate of the city ahead is closed." A guard came to report it.

Yuan Xi stepped forward, "The defenders of the city, my second son, Yuan Xi, open the city gate." ”

"The general has an order, no one is allowed to lead the army into the city without authorization, and if the second prince wants to come in, he must not lead the army into the city except for his personal companionship."

"General?" Yuan Xi snorted coldly, "I know, open the city gate." ”

"Second son, please retreat your soldiers and horses, and I will dare to open the door later."

"Xu Chu, take your Xuanjia soldiers back ten miles and camp on the spot."

"Yes, my lord." After a period of commotion, the Xuanjia soldiers, under the leadership of Xu Chu, slowly retreated back.

The guards at the head of the city, when they saw the Xuanjia soldiers walking away, immediately shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, and let the second son and the eldest son come in." ”

Yuan Xi's 300 personal soldiers and Yuan Tan's more than 100 personal soldiers rushed in.

After a long time, when he returned to Jizhou again, Yuan Xi saw a scene full of depression, with few people on the street, and one or two people he occasionally saw were still burning paper and howling, so it was not desolate.

Yuan Xi recalled the last time he came, the bustle and grandeur of Jizhou City, and he felt uncomfortable for a while.

He didn't know if he was sad for his father Yuan Shao or for the mess he left behind.

Anyway, I feel the urge to vent, but where to vent? Who to vent to?

Packing up his emotions, Yuan Xi followed Yuan Tan with his personal guards, and soon arrived at the gate of Yuan's mansion.

Looking at the mottled white paper on the door of Yuan's house, he knew about Yuan Shao's funeral, but he was afraid that a long time had already passed.

Yuan Xi and his entourage, sitting on war horses, looked at the cold courtyard of Yuan's mansion, no one spoke, and they were silent.

Yuan Tancai, who was on the side for a long time, said cautiously: "Second brother, my mother has been in poor health recently, let's go in and have a look?" ”

Yuan Xi jumped off the horse, let the guards stay outside, and took Yuan Xiang and his eldest brother Yuan Tan to walk slowly inside.
